Justice for Survivors

Across Canada

For decades, abuse has taken place inside schools, religious institutions, youth centers, non- profit youth movements, camps, group homes, government funded organizations, correctional facilities and other institutions across Canada. These were places meant to protect and care for people, yet for many, they became sites of betrayal, neglect, and harm.

Survivors have the right to be heard, to seek justice, and to hold institutions accountable. If you or a loved one were abused in any Canadian institution, it’s not too late to take action.

Betrayal of Trust

Those responsible for institutional abuse often held positions of authority including teachers, clergy, coaches, leaders, care-home staff, guards, social workers, or foster parents. Their status made it easier to exploit victims and silence reports.

The harm is long-lasting. Survivors may face:

Mental Health

Physical injuries and chronic health issues

Lifelong emotional trauma

Substance abuse and addiction

Loss of income and financial stability

Broken trust in authority and community

KEY FACTS TO KNOW

Nearly 1 in 3 Canadian adults report experiencing abuse as a child

43% of Indigenous women report sexual assault after age 15

Over 500 incidents of sexual abuse by Canadian school personnel were recorded between 2017–2021

At least 32,000 residential school survivors have resolved sexual assault claims through federal processes

Legal Landscape and "Lookback" Laws

Across Canada, changes in limitation periods are giving survivors a long overdue chance to seek justice. These updates have removed strict time limits, allowing victims to file lawsuits for abuse that occurred years or even decades ago. For too long, legal deadlines prevented survivors from coming forward. Now more provinces are reopening the doors to the courtroom.

While not every province has made these changes, the message is clear: Justice should never have an expiration date.

The Role of Data and Public Record

Data and public records are essential in exposing and preventing institutional abuse. Like a flashlight in a dark room, they reveal hidden patterns, track incidents, and highlight case outcomes that might otherwise go unnoticed. When made public, this information forces institutions to face accountability because facts are hard to ignore. Case studies show that data driven approaches lead to real change, pushing organizations to reform failing policies. Beyond that, data helps survivors connect, creating communities of support and solidarity in the fight for justice.
